With an old taxi cab converted into a raft and posing as a Cuban, Silverio sails to Miami. He decides to do what no one in his family or none of his friends have been able to do: enter the United States and live there “legally.” But between the bad weather and his broken compass, Silverio doesn’t reach his planned destiny. Instead he finds himself in Cuba where he discovers many surprises.
